Social media users hail Ernest Nuamah after debut Black Stars goal in win over Central African Republic

Ernest Nuamah etched a memorable international moment into history as he sealed a decisive victory for the Black Stars against the Central African Republic (CAR) on Thursday.

The electrifying match, held at Kumasi's revered Baba Yara Stadium, witnessed Nuamah's maiden international goal, a crucial contribution that cemented Ghana's qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament slated for Ivory Coast next year.

Nuamah, recently enlisted by the prestigious French club Lyon, executed the task with composure, calmly slotting the ball into the net from close range.

This pivotal goal unfolded following an assist from the industrious Antoine Semenyo, who played a significant role as a second-half substitute in Ghana's remarkable performance.

Initially, CAR posed a serious threat to Ghana's undefeated record at the Baba Yara Stadium, an achievement spanning over two decades, by opening the scoring through forward Louis Mafouta. However, West Ham sensation Mohammed Kudus came to Ghana's rescue with a spectacular free-kick goal, ensuring both teams entered halftime on level terms.

In the second half, it was Nuamah who ultimately settled the contest with his exquisitely timed goal, securing a 2-1 victory for Ghana. This triumph not only booked Ghana's ticket to AFCON but also extended their remarkable unbeaten streak at the Baba Yara Stadium, dating back to the year 2000.

Nuamah had made his national team debut in the preceding game against Madagascar, where he made a cameo appearance. Thursday's match marked his second appearance for the senior national team, and his debut goal is sure to be celebrated with enthusiasm by fans and teammates alike.

In the wake of the game's conclusion, Nuamah found himself trending on Twitter, with social media buzzing about his outstanding performance.
